Plastic Bags, 2007, 60×72″ archival inkjet print, Depicts 60,000 plastic bags, the number used in the US every five seconds.

“This new series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on.

As with any large artwork, their scale carries a vital part of their substance which is lost in these little web images.”
